Here’s me wishing to god that I was more unique To have a super power, maybe wings Fly me to where nobody’s ever seen a thing like me Me I’ll always be a snowflake underneath Wishing to god that someone else could see My crystalline body is distinct Speaking of which I also want to be the top of the snowman Or part of his visage Or I’ll hide behind his eyelids I’ll make it easy; I’ll be his dial tone Ooh Here’s you wishing to god you weren’t so confused Curiosity has fractured youth Like a time bomb and it’s time to choose the path to take Take every moral that you can think To forget about or throw away Challenge everyone and everything Now you’ve got a hundred things that you could lose I would save a couple if I were you Just incase one day you think maybe I shouldn’t have pissed in that snow Such a pretty picture doesn’t come too easy Speaking of which I also want to be the top of the snowman Or you could be part of the ocean I want to set ideas in motion I want to tell every friend I’ve got that I love them

It’ll get so cold out and the inside will feel so warm And my brother will be my brother again You’re always silent like that, and the shuffle of your jacket Could make me weak as to drop the songs You’re always silent like that, and the slow rising of your chest Weighs my eyes weep as to drop the songs I don’t want to write you off, I don’t care What secrets I see, I don’t care I don’t want to force you on anywhere If my words manifest Even just a gentle wind, I don’t care How much you move, I don’t care I don’t want to change you there Even just a gentle wind And my brother will be my brother again

Well I heard you had cried tears of icicles A call that could have killed you And she was once there in your place For all the opposite reasons Me, I would have waited Till my bones had frozen over And I too was some artificially flavored frozen fruit snack She told me you were romantic Stood in the rain and waited Stayed awake to call her You would always love her My friend seems to like her I don’t know what to tell him How could he compare to Epitome of Relationship Pictures on your wall Re- Mind of me of the way things Were before you met him Now, before you left him I am just a good friend Let him be a good friend Is he sick inside his head? Or still the boy that you’re loving Well I heard you cried tears of icicles Until the girl had come back for you Back to where we started Figured it was over Me I would have waited Mistakes I would have made and Just I would be some artificially flavored frozen fruit snack Just I would be Just, I would be just

Hand to back cold clammy Palm upsetting stomachs Fluttering eyelashes Warm embrace-lets me feel un-lonley’d Hard tumbling Walk heavy Shoes soggy Speak slowly Wet lenses Not rainy day It’s pretty out would you like to walk outside with me And sit in the field and feel funny Laugh hard then end softly Wet lenses, not rainy day Empty backpack-ed with blue memory Empty backpack-ed with empty I’m thirsty not hungry It’s hard to be hungry Easy to be angry It’s sad when you cry and that makes me cry and that makes you cry And I’m happy you’re alive and I’m happy I’m alive Messing up the silverware in the back of the restaurant I can’t roll fast enough, I can’t cry hard enough Hand to back cold clammy Palm upsetting stomachs Fluttering eyelashes Warm embrace-lets me feel un-lonley’d Hard tumbling Walk heavy Shoes soggy Speak slowly Wet lenses Not rainy day It’s pretty out would you like to walk outside with me And sit in the field and feel funny

You were the green leafed Given I am the purple tree in your front yard (Overlooking your balcony) And I’ve never felt worse, then when the world cut you down Are you just sawdust now? (I could have sworn I saw you burning into ember then blowing away)* I didn’t know you, as well as I should (as well as I should) To me you were a picture that lasted forever, but now I can see Past what has passed me I was the passerby In your shade for years And I paid no mind; I just smiled and walked by And I never thanked you; you were happy to watch me Am I just a shadow cast? Is it too late to ask? (I want appreciation covering my body)* Can I be forgiven? For time didn’t grant me The wisdom to know and hold myself close To flames I’m afraid of what I can’t see Are you a ghost inside of me? I’m a pupil to you, and to time I should listen when you say goodbye And on the ride home I hid my tears safe in my hands I carried them in Through the door I held them before My guitar I said one last song for the man And the fact is I can’t understand it And the sadness just blasted like static And like magic we were young again

I wear my grandfather’s hat to ward off demons; all the people who would guess me wrong can pass me off, guess me wrong Keeps a safe distance between me and the false god eyes sometimes even in the mirror I step awkward over all the cracks just to keep my face from crossing a stare beam I lose my balance in invisible waves, the more I think the more I think me mad And every now then in moments of attention I see my crests collected Won’t you amplify me? Sometimes even in the mirror I have to remind me
